Chords

D
Oh how sad they sound the songs
The queen must sing of dying
  G
A prisoner upon her throne

             A
Of meloncoly sighing

             G              A
If she could see her mirror now

              G                A
She would be free of those who bow

               G                   A
And scrape the ground benneth her feet

D
Silently she walks among her
Dying midnight roses
G
Watches as each moment goes

                  A
That never really know us

          G
And if it seems

             A
She doesn't care

            G               A
If she has dreams of no one there

            G              A
Within the shadows of her room

     D             G
But all my frozen words agree and say it's time to

D                 G
Call back all the birds I sent to fly behind her

A                      D            G
Castle walls and I'm weary of the nights I've seen

A                  D
Inside these empty halls

D
Wooden lady turn and turn
Among my weary secrets
     G                                         A
And way within the hours past and other empty pockets

             G                  A
Maybe we've found what we have lost

            G               A
When we've unwound so many crossed

       G           A
Intangling misunderstanding

     D            G
But all my frozen words agree and say it's time to

D                 G
Call back all the birds I've sent to fly behind her

A                     D             G
Castle walls and I'm weary of the nights I've seen

A             D
Inside these empty walls
